Look at how our nation’s history has been written, rewritten, and manipulated, all to make the average citizen believe we were ordained by a just and powerful deity to become the most powerful nation on Earth, when in fact we were primarily established by financial interests, who had no problem depopulating an entire continent of its resident native population (through deliberate GENOCIDE) to make room for imported slaves to exploit the land stolen from the aforementioned unfortunate natives.

What historians write about what is going on today, will be a reflection of the prejudices of the winners in the current power struggle, and considering that corporate interests have seized the propaganda stream (by buying the government, instituting self-serving doctrine, and setting the lower classes against each other through institutions like the Tea Party), is is more than likely that these “historians” will, like so many in our immediate past, be willingly (or unwillingly) owned by the corporate plutocracy we seem destined to have shoved down our throats.
